I had a friend who wanted to start a coin counting by mail business. The customer mails the coins in a flat rate package and then you count them and in exchange the people get a gift card to a local restaurant.

    I once saw a product where it would wet and warm your razor while you shaved. Basically it was a cup with a heating element. I thought it was lame but it was covered on TechCrunch and was being invested in. And I commented on it that it was the downfall of venture capital. In retrospect, I had no right to publicly judge someone. Not because I believe in the idea, but because someone else did and I trashed it. What might seem like a bad idea might be someone’s ticket, and who’s to say we have any right to judge them? At least they went out there and tried. I think about that product every time I shave. It’s still a terrible idea. You want your razor dry to get a close shave. But if someone finds some business in it or learns something from doing it, who cares? These things are harmless.
